Man Up!

Christ that went long...

Jason, it was my impression that Caitlin understood Tom's bombastic tirade very well. Her issue, as I understand it, is chiefly with how some feel the need to string together sesquipedalia (often at the cost of sentence fluidity) to compensate for a modest intellect. Tom's vocabulary, adequate as it may be, lends no credence to his asinine appraisal of this show.My biggest grievance with Tom's post is how badly it smacked of disgruntled virgin. What man gets worked into such a tizzy about something of so little consequence? And slavery? Really? Ay me! The world is such an unfair place for men! When will we finally have our day in the sun?? *cough drama queen cough*If I were to push past his blatant, pseudointellectual ploys and epicene demeanor to examine his argument on its face... it is still a weak one. The simple fact of the matter is that some men are dumb. Just like some blacks are gangsters and some gays are effeminate. Should Hollywood, in the interest of not offending Tom's delicate sensibilities, write all men as smart, all black people as doctors and lawyers, and only ever portray masculine gays? It's a moronic argument! These men ARE a fair depiction of some of our gender in particular and all of us at times. And I do believe there is an episode where the two lead females get their hands caught in planter, so his assessment of them as "successful, savvy, sensible" is flawed as well.P.S. Even if Tom makes me look like an idiot later, it only validates my perspective that some men are idiots. His best bet is to praise me for insulting his intellect and manhood.

Caitlin, I'm sorry if Tom's words were too big for your vocabulary. Perhaps dictionary.com would help to advance your knowledge or perhaps you feel that insulting others intelligence is more fun than improving your own.Yes, the show perpetuates the myth that men are idiots and wives are more like moms for adult men. It is also a funny show. I can, however, find humor and entertainment in something that is preachy on views I disagree with.

And now it's only on hulu plus. :-S
